positron Data explorer: add command or `View()` argument to open as new full-sized window

This is a feature request assuming they are appropriate in the issue section.

It would be great to open the data explorer as a separate full-sized window without extra steps. As the title says either as a new command or some other way. "Move into New Window" is, I believe, the closest, currently.

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you think it should be a user level configuration or users would prefer different behaviors depending on the dataset they are opening?

The answer is I'm sure both, but for my part at least it would prefer this as a user level configuration. If you have a very small dataset you can also print it in the console.

Does #3839 solve this problem for you?

I would say no as I was suggesting a solution without any extra steps — but I appreciate that it may not be a high-priority feature.

The command View() like in R would be highly useful.

Searching objects / dataframes over and over again in the Viewer Pane list is painful and time consuming...

We do support View() in R and %view in Python to open a Dataframes in the Data explorer. Is that different that what you are looking for?

Thank you @jthomasmock , I didn't know the %view trick. And the R View() is now working fine too.
